SWMBO (or I should have known better)
Up and at em early thismorning, 'before you go' sayeth she, 'can you set up the mixmaster?' OK, no problems.
We don't have a mixmaster but we do have a Kenwood Chef which I (wrongfully) assumed was what she meant.
SWMBO is outside for about 1/2 an hour feeding horses then bursts in, 'where is it' .......I dutifully point at the kitchen bench, 'how can I concrete the path with that?'.
Oh woe am I, I should have realised that she meant set up the concrete mixer.
Why am I so stupid as not to realise that this was what she meant
Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

Not any more. Try and buy a 40kg bag of cement. They only come in 20kg bags here now because of OH&S.40kg bags of concrete
Too small to stick a shovel in. Pain in the earse.

Makes it easier on the labourer, just tip the whole freekin lot into the mixer.
No dud mixes, or rainbow coloured mud.
I think I pay about $6 per bag?

We can still get 40kg in QLD (at least in Warwick). Went to buy some for concreting garden shed slab and all I could get was 40kg bags. The rapid set stuff comes in 20kgs or 10kg now and buying 2 10's is cheaper than a 20kg bag sometimes:confused: Originally Posted by silentC

In Bundaberg i still buy it by the 40 kg bag. you can get 20 kg bags but they are about $8.80 when a 40 kg one is about 11.80. Originally Posted by Wood Butcher

I dont see what the problem is.......my Mum had an old Kenwood mixer that I reckon could handle a few loads of cement.
